• You will learn the basics of throwing and turning
• You will learn basic hand building techniques such as coiling & pinching as well as decorating with stained slips.
• This is designed for those who are not sure what course they want to do and are keen to get an insight as to what it’s like to throw on the wheel and hand build before committing to a longer course.
